Welcome to the world of meteorites!

Meteorites are pieces of asteroids or former protoplanets that have fallen on Earth. Only very few of these pieces survive the violent flight through the Earth’s atmosphere making them rarer than gold or diamonds here on Earth. They have come a long way from outer space and teach us a lot about the origin of our solar system. Meteorites are composed of the first material that was formed in our solar system, more than 4.5 billion years ago!
